Description
The Jeep Cherokee XJ is more than a vehicle — it’s a landmark in automotive history.
Born from a design so right it endured nearly two decades without replacement, the XJ became the blueprint for every modern SUV. Compact yet rugged, civilised yet unmistakably Jeep.
This particular 1996 Limited 4. 0 is one of the last and best examples of the XJ lineage — a European-spec, Swiss-market vehicle that has survived untouched by heavy off-road use or poor maintenance.
It retains its original character, drivetrain, and luxury equipment, all working as intended.
Nearly 20k € has been invested in restoration: from mechanical systems to cosmetic details, with a focus on authenticity and longevity.
The 4. 0-litre inline-six engine runs smoothly and strongly — one of Jeep’s most revered powerplants, known for its durability and torque.
It’s a turn-key classic SUV, equally suitable for collection, weekend cruising, or daily enjoyment.
Good underside, fresh servicing, and documentation make it one of the most trustworthy XJs available on the European market today.
